Project description:This study systematically analyzed the molecular mechanism and function of nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2 (NFKB2) in colorectal cancer (CRC) to investigate the potential of NFKB2 as a therapeutic target for CRCTo investigate the potential of NFKB2 as a therapeutic target for colorectal cancer (CRC), we conducted a systematic analysis of the molecular mechanism and function of NFKB2 in CRC. VariousA range of experimental techniques, including RNA sequencing, proteome chip assays, and small molecule analysis, were used to obtaingain a deeper understanding of the regulation of NFKB2 in CRC. TheOur results revealed that NFKB2 was upregulated in a significant proportion of patients with advanced hepatic metastasismetastases of CRC. NFKB2 played an importanta role in promoting tumor growth through CD8+ T cell exhaustion. MoreoverAdditionally, NFKB2 directly interacted with signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2)STAT2, leading to increased phosphorylation of STAT2 and the upregulation of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)PD-L1 expression. Applying aThe application of a small molecule inhibitor of NFKB2 (Rg5) led to a reduction in PD-L1 expression and improved response to programmed death-1 (PD-1)PD-1 blockade-based immunotherapy. In conclusion,These findings suggest that the facilitated NFKB2-STAT2/PD-L1 axis may suppresses immune surveillance in CRC and targeting NFKB2 maycould enhance the efficacy of immunotherapeutic strategies. Our resultsThis study provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the contribution of NFKB2 in CRC immune escape. However, our findings requireand further validation of these findings in a clinical trial is needed to establish NFKB2 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy for CRC patients.

Project description:STAT2 is an essential transcription factor in type I interferon (IFN) signaling. STAT2 is activated following exposure to IFN stimulation by phosphorylation at tyrosine-690. This post-translational modification permits the assembly and nuclear retention of the ISGF3 complex (consisting of STAT1/STAT2/IRF9) to drive gene transcription. We recently identified STAT2 to be serine phosphorylated in an IFN-dependent manner. The biological significance of these novel phosphorylation events in STAT2 remain to be elucidated. Thus far our data show that serine phosphorylation of STAT2 negatively regulates the biological effects of IFN. In an effort to understand the scope of STAT2 serine phosphorylation in IFN signaling, we conducted comparative microarray analysis to identify a collection of genes that are regulated by phosphorylated Ser734-STAT2 vs. unphosphorylated S734-STAT2 after IFN treatment.

Project description:To investigate the effects of NFKB signaling, RNA-seq analysis was performed on both Jurkat and MT-2 cells. It was observed that either NFKB1 or NFKB2 knockout could alter the gene expression profile in MT-2 cells compared to Jurkat cells. Gene expression profiles of NFKB1/NFKB2 knockout Jurkat cells were compared to the mock edited Jurkat cells. On the other hand, it was hypothesized that the gene expression profile of MT-2 cells can be more drastically altered by NFKB1 or NFKB2 knockout. NFKB2 knockout MT-2 cells exhibited a unique gene expression profile compared to those of NFKB1 knockout MT-2 cells and mock edited MT-2 cells.

Project description:As such, TNF triggers the canonical NF-?B pathway to induce a nuclear NF-?B activity composed of the RelA:p50 dimer in WT cells. Nfkb2 encodes p100, which regulates the activity of the RelB NF-?B heterodimers during immune cell-differentiation via the noncanonical pathway. Our biochemical analyses revealed that an absence of p100 instead repositions RelB under the control of the TNF-activated canonical pathway. Indeed, chronic TNF treatment of Nfkb2-/- cells activates the RelA:p50 dimer and an additional RelB:p50 dimer. On the other hand, TNF stimulation of Relb-/-Nfkb2-/- and Rela-/-Nfkb2-/- MEFs exclusively activated the RelA:p50 dimer and the RelB:p50 dimer, respectively. We treated this panel of knockout MEFs with TNF for 6h before being subjected to microarray mRNA analysis. We also included in our analysis WT MEFs and Rela-/-Relb-/-Rel-/- MEFs, which served as a negative control. Our analyses revealed overlapping and distinct gene-expression specificities of RelA:p50 and RelB:p50 dimers activated in mutant cells in response to TNF.

Project description:The transcription factor STAT2 is essential for transcriptional activation downstream of the receptors for the innate IFNs -α/β (IFNAR) and -gamma (IFNLR). STAT2 is activated by tyrosine phosphorylation, associating with STAT1 and IRF9 to form the Interferon-Stimulated Gene Factor 3 (ISGF3) to effect gene transcription. Loss-of-function variants in STAT2 increase susceptibility to viral disease. Here a transcriptome study is reported on an individual with severe early-onset neuroinflammatory disease and an elevated IFN signature. The individual had a homozygous missense variant in STAT2 and symptoms consistent with a gain-of-function effect.

Project description:Our previous study revealed that the transcription factor STAT2 promoted the growth of colorectal tumors, but the molecular mechanisms by which STAT2 contributes to tumor promotion are still unknown. Given that alterations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene are very common in colorectal cancer and critical in adenoma-carcinoma transition, we investigated whether STAT2 may also be implicated in disease progression when normal p53 function is disabled. We found Stat2 silencing in colon cancer cells deficient in p53 reduced the capacity of tumor cells to migrate and invade in vitro. We also determined that Stat2 silencing impaired tumor cells to metastasize to the liver. To begin to understand how STAT2 contributes to disease progression, we performed RNA-Seq analysis on colon tumor xenografts with the purpose to identify a STAT2 transcriptome. From this study, we identified a subset of STAT2 regulated genes that in future studies will confirm their role in colon carcinogenesis.

Project description:The alternative (non-canonical) nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathway predominantly regulates the function of the p52/RelB heterodimer. Germline Nfkb2 deficiency in mice leads to loss of p100/p52 protein and offers protection against a variety of gastrointestinal conditions, such as azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis-associated cancer and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced small intestinal epithelial apoptosis. However, the common underlying protective mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Here we applied RNA sequencing and identified a B-lymphocyte defect as the major signature in the small intestinal mucosa of naïve adult Nfkb2-/- mice. Proteomics analysis also revealed a dramatic decrease in small intestinal immunoglobulin A levels, and this was validated by quantitative ELISA in both small intestinal lysates and serum. Moreover, the numbers of IgA-producing, CD138+ve plasma cells were also reduced in the lamina propria of the small intestinal villi of Nfkb2-/- mice. This phenotype was even more striking in the small intestinal mucosa of RelB-/- mice, although these mice were equally sensitive to LPS-induced intestinal apoptosis as their RelB+/+ wild-type counterparts. Therefore, p52 deficiency offers resistance to LPS-induced intestinal apoptosis and appears to regulate the plasma cell population within the gut.

Project description:We report the application of ChIP-Seq analysis for high-throughput profiling of NFKB2/p52 binding pattern under prolonged culture conditions. Briefly, we investigate the genome wide binding behavior of endogenous p52 in WI-38 cells. The cells was cultured with regular DMEM medium for prolonged time (7 days). Chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA was converted to libraries for sequencing with HiSeq 4000. We find that there is a distinct binding pattern of p52 under prolonged culture condtion. This study provides a preliminary but solid basis to our understanding of NFKB2/p52 binding dynamics during aging process.
